Xianyang: Merging into Xi’an by the Integration of the Two Cities  

 A. Basic Information and Development Orientation

    Located in the interior of the 400-kilometer Qin Plain, with the Weihe River running across the southern part and Zongshan Mountain stretching in the north, the directions of the river and the mountain are both on the side of the Yang, hence the name Xianyang (Yang, the opposite of Yin, in traditional Chinese, Yang is the direction to the north of a river, or the south side of a mountain. Xian, means both). It served as the capital city of the Qin Dynasty, the first feudal kingdom in China.

    Covering an area of 10,200 km2, Xianyang has a permanent population of 5.25 million by the end of 2013. GDP of the whole year was RMB 186.04 billion, fiscal revenue reached RMB 21.79 billion, and social investment in fixed assets was RMB 205.45 billion, up by 13.1%, 3.7% and 27.1% respectively.

    The strategic positioning of Xianyang is merging into grand Xi’an for its future development. Joining hands with Xi’an and Xixian New Area, Xianyang aims to construct an international metropolis with integrated development, a gathering area for innovation-driven modern industries, an international tourism destination with both cultural and ecological features as well as inland China strategic highland for development and opening-up with tolerance and open thinking.

B. Investment Attraction and Specific Investment Environment

    In 2013, Xianyang implemented altogether 303 contracted projects with a total investment of RMB 233.2 billion, and completed a sum of RMB 76.53 billion of investment in 150 municipal key projects.

    Xianyang enjoys evident regional advantages. Located in the core area of Guanzhongtianshui Economic Zone, with convenient means of transportation, the city is the strategic crossroad connecting Central China with the vast northwestern region. Xianyang downtown is only 13 kilometers away from the international airport. 9 railways including Longhai and Xitong, together with 6 expressways including Fuyin and Lianhuo, run through the region either vertically or horizontally. Xianyang has a solid foundation in modern industries, and has formed an industrial system which is mainly made up of 9 industries including energy and chemical industry, equipment manufacturing, electronics, medicine, textile, food, construction material, aviation logistics and solar photovoltaic industry. It is also a large scale national grain production base and the important production bases for quality apples, animal husbandry and pollution-free vegetables.
